12. Well now. Suck on this (intended)

I breastfed my daughter for a year in every possible location, public and private. Baby hungry, baby gotta eat. It's that simple. I took basic steps to protect my own modesty, but the fact is, when a baby is nursing, your nipple isn't exposed because it's in the baby's mouth.

So maybe this asshole person should learn some basic anatomy and facts about breastfeeding.

Nobody ever gave me shit about it, either, maybe because I was living in Africa and people there were chill because it's fucking NORMAL to breastfeed your infant.

I wasn't aware of anyone rushing to grab the nursing or non-nursing breast, but...to be fair, I was focused on my baby.

I also checked with my husband (a man) and he expressed no desire to grab the breasts of ANY woman (except mine), nursing or not. We have visited clothing-optional beaches, and I have never noticed any groping (or ogling) going on. Among anyone.
